"Pax is on schedule," manager Scott Servais said, via MLB.com. "Bullpens, everything has been really good. He'll pitch on Saturday and he should be 100 percent good to go."

Paxton has been sidelined since Aug. 14 when he was hit in his pitching arm by a 96-mph comebacker from A's batter Jed Lowrie. The team placed Paxton on the 10-day disabled list for the second time this year after he previously dealt with lower back stiffness in July and called up right-hander Christian Bergman from Triple-A Tacoma to fill the void.
